on monday night we picked up the new queen at a friend's house in chapin and then quickly came home, found and killed the old queen and instated a new one. this queen comes from north carolina and has a red mark on her thorax. chris was a little unsettled by the slaying, saying it was unceremonious. but i was all business. get it over with so we can keep the hive going, that was my mentality.

so, watch your back, y'all. now you know who's the brutal one in this relationship.
